SHOW NOTES:

In this episode, Matt Zaun sits down with Jen Moss, Chief Creative Officer and Co-Founder of JAR Podcast Solutions, to unpack what makes a podcast truly effective.

Jen shares why podcasting is far more than “just hitting record,” and explains the strategic thinking, creative discipline, and authentic storytelling required to create a show that actually connects.

They discuss podcast strategy, audience attention, narrative podcasting, AI’s role in content creation, why authenticity still wins, and how constraints and deadlines can actually fuel better creativity. 

Jen also shares her own creative journey from theater and journalism to radio, film, and podcasting, and why she believes process matters just as much as polish.
